Does tool require Sign-in?

no; only if you want to save and come back


Description of Tool:

This allows students to make concept maps/flow charts to brainstorm ideas and see how things connect/compare.







How does tool apply to your curricular area?

This will help students compare and contrast similar processes. (i.e. photosynthesis v cell respiration, mitosis v. meiosis, genetics, taxonomy). It will also help them organize their ideas and make connections between material. This can be used for middle and high school science. It seems a little complex for elementary school. This will be a great tool to use to have students create study helpers to use to review for tests.



Where does tool fit in Digital Blooms and why?


Creating because the students will have to come up with the descriptions in each bubble and correctly connect them together.
